00:00.000 --> 00:11.000
Algeria broods under ominous clouds of tension after a ceasefire between France and Muslim rebels brings momentary peace.

00:11.000 --> 00:17.000
The day the truce was announced after months of negotiations, Algiers and Iran were quiet.

00:17.000 --> 00:22.000
But quiet only because of a general strike called by leaders of the secret army.

00:22.000 --> 00:29.000
These rightists, who want Algeria to remain French, have vowed to fight to the bitter end to accomplish their aims.

00:29.000 --> 00:37.000
Two days after France signed her pact with the rebels, the secret army renewed terror bombings, killing 32 civilians and police in two days.

00:37.000 --> 00:40.000
The key to orderly peace lies with the French army.

00:40.000 --> 00:50.000
Observers note that if they remain loyal to President de Gaulle and control the secret army, true peace may come about in this strife-torn African nation.

00:50.000 --> 01:05.000
A dictator who has been in exile for six years casts his influence over election days in the Argentine.

01:05.000 --> 01:16.000
As voters go to the polls led by President Arturo Frondizi, his Peronist opposition has candidates in the field for the first time since Juan Peron was ousted in 1955.

01:16.000 --> 01:20.000
Frondizi expresses confidence in the results until the votes are tallied.

01:20.000 --> 01:23.000
Then the roof falls in on the president.

01:23.000 --> 01:29.000
Peron followers win congressional control in ten key provinces, but gain a hollow victory.

01:29.000 --> 01:39.000
Under pressure from the military, Frondizi declares the election void, bans all Peronist activity and forms a new cabinet that is half civilian and half military.

01:39.000 --> 01:47.000
A general strike follows Frondizi's action, and there seems to be a growing demand that dictator Peron return from exile.
